Cleveland Industrial Retention Initiative

CIRI is a program of the City of Cleveland funded by City Council for the benefit of its manufacturing engineering services companies.  The program is under the supervision of Tracey Nichols, Director of Economic Development for the City of Cleveland; the program is managed by WIRE-Net.

The City is divided into six zones. Each zone is serviced by your CIRI Industrial Development Manager. It is your manager's job to bring your successes and sometimes your issues to Mayor Frank Jackson’s attention. The City of Cleveland is dedicated to making doing business here just a little bit easier; Mayor Jackson’s priority is keeping your business in the City of Cleveland.
